Montana Medicaid

Funded by both the federal and state governments, Medicaid is an important health program for people with lower incomes, elderly people, people with disabilities, and some families with children.

The state Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) administers Medicaid programs throughout Montana, and recipients must be American citizens or legal permanent residents living in Montana who fall into certain qualifying categories.

Qualifying categories for Medicaid eligibility include:

the elderly

the physically disabled

the mentally disabled

severely disabled children

pregnant women

low income adults

low income children

By 2014, most adults across the country who are under age 65 and have incomes under $15,000 will qualify for Medicaid. To help determine the likelihood of your Medicaid eligibility as of November 2012, however, you should visit the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services Medicaid: Are You Eligible? summary and scroll down to find income guidelines relating to the type of Medicaid coverage you are investigating.

Anyone looking into eligibility for Medicaid services in Montana should consult the DPHHS Montana Medicaid, which provides valuable links and information to help answer many questions concerning eligibility. If it appears you meet eligibility requirements, you shouldn’t delay applying for Montana Medicaid services.
